Immunoassays are introduced in this book in a very sophisticated and concise manner. From the elementary in vitro analysis of a particular biomolecule to the diagnosis or prognosis of a particular disease, one of the most broadly practiced technologies is immunoassays. With the help of a particular antibody to identify the biomolecule of interest, comparatively high specificity can be attained by immunoassays, so that complex biofluids (e.g. serum, urine, etc.) can be examined directly. Along with the binding specificity, the other essential characteristics of immunoassays are relatively high...

This book highlights some latest researches regarding the field of histocompatibility for a broad spectrum of readers interested in this field including scientists as well as veteran researchers. Several topics are encompassed in this all-inclusive book like HLA polymorphism in anthropology, distinctive immunological functions of HLA-G, regulation of MHC class I by viruses, etc. This book is compiled with contributions made by renowned researchers and scientists.

This book talks about immunology in scientific and curative aspects. The book is rather precise and comprises of matters very relevant to the topic of human immune system and its role in health and diseases. Any act which weakens the efficiency of immune system is classified under Immunosuppression. Therapeutic immunosuppression has uses in scientific medicine, which vary from prevention and therapy of organ/bone marrow transplant rejection to organization of autoimmune and inflammatory disorders. This book brings forward significant growth in the area of molecular mechanisms and active...

Immunology is a branch of biomedical sciences to study the immune system physiology in both diseased and healthy states. Some aspects of autoimmunity enable us to understand that it is not always related to pathology. For example, autoimmune reactions are effective in clearing off the unwanted, excess or aged tissues from the body. Also, autoimmunity occurs after the exposure of the non-self-antigen which is structurally similar to the self, assisted by the stimulatory molecules such as cytokines. Therefore, it can be said that there's a minor difference between immunity and auto-immunity....
